Looking for a last-minute excuse to drink lots of tasty beer? Head over to Queens for the Five Boro Craft Beer Fest tonight where 33 brewers will be on hand pouring samples of over 100 craft beers. Locals like Sixpoint, Bronx Brewery and Queens Brewery will be on hand, plus you can be one of the first to sample brews Staten Island's forthcoming Flagship Brewing Co. The event takes over LIC's enormous beer hall Studio Square from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m.; an $85 ticket gets you unlimited pours of suds and some grub from locals spots including Asia Dog and Bite Sized Kitchen.
Transport yourself to New Zealand tonight at The Musket Room, where kiwi chef Matt Lambert is commemorating Anzac Day, which honors the country's fallen soldiers and citizens. The six-course dinner offers more than the standard lamb we associate with the country; instead, try Smoked Eel with wild garlic or Southland Red Deer with apple and greens. Dinner costs $85 or add a wine pairing for $150; call (212) 219-0764 for reservations.

It's a big opening weekend for two beloved al fresco food events. First up, Hester Street Fair begins its occupation of Seward Park on the LES this Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. New vendors this year include Korean bowls, wraps and sandwiches; Asian fried rice balls; and tasty meat sandwiches like porchetta. And in Brooklyn, the Red Hook Food Vendors begin their season on Saturday, cooking up pupusas and tacos at the ballfields.
Take part in a wedding this Saturday night but without needing to buy any gifts! The Southside Supper Club is throwing a Red Party, an epic nine-course meal inspired by a lavish Chinese wedding. The family style meal includes dishes like Chinese BBQ Salmon, veggie dumplings, roasted duck breast and black rice congee. Tickets are $80 and include complimentary wine, beer and Chinese-inspired cocktails. Doors open at 7 p.m. at 172 Classon Avenue in Brooklyn; diners are encouraged to dress in red.
